Coronado High School’s basketball division regional championship was vacated and the school has been placed on probation by the California Interscholastic Federation following the tortilla throwing incident after the June 19 game with Escondido’s Orange Glen High School.

Coronado High is on probation until 2024 and was stripped of its chances to hold postseason games until 2023.
